Including filter system and high-performance GenX filter.
GenX is a member of the PFAS family that can enter drinking water when industrial compounds reach waterways and sources. Often called HFPO-DA, it’s grouped with other persistent “forever chemicals” because it resists breaking down in the environment. You can’t see or taste GenX in your tap water, which is why testing is the only way to know whether it’s present. Many Century homeowners choose to reduce exposure at every tap once they learn their water may be affected.
Because GenX typically appears at very low concentrations, treating it requires PFAS-focused methods rather than simple taste-and-odor filters. A point-of-use unit on one sink will improve drinking and cooking water but won’t protect showers, laundry, or ice makers in your Century home. Installing whole-house filtration treats water as it comes into the house so everyday uses are covered. The aim is steady reduction with a system sized and maintained for your household’s water demand.
For whole-house protection, the most effective single-filter media for GenX and related PFAS is a granular activated carbon (GAC) system built with high-quality carbon and adequate contact time. GenX (HFPO-DA) can be tougher to capture than some longer-chain PFAS, so carbon type, bed depth, and flow rate matter, as does monitoring how quickly the media is exhausted. A GAC tank fitted at the main line treats all incoming water to help reduce GenX at showers and faucets around your Century residence without adding chemicals.
Activated carbon removes contaminants by adsorption, so performance depends on providing enough contact time and replacing media on schedule. Heavy household use, high flow rates, and other contaminants can shorten carbon life, which is why proper sizing and a maintenance plan are important for Century homes. Mr. Pure Water designs whole-house GAC systems to match your plumbing and water use, and periodic testing can confirm results and indicate when service is needed.
